Ronning started the conversation on X by identifying Musk personally and expressing his displeasure with the Canadian government. He also asked for Muskโs help in ousting Trudeau from power. With the forthcoming national elections, Muskโs prediction that Trudeauโs time as prime minister may be coming to an end was stated in a follow-up. Muskโs quick remark struck a chord with many people, especially those who disapprove of Trudeauโs leadership and policies.

Musk, who is well-known for being vocal on social media, has made remarks on international politics in the past, including American ones, but this is the first time he has made a public statement about Canadian politics. His remarks seem to capture the mounting discontent among some Canadians with Trudeauโs leadership, especially in regard to matters such as how the nation has dealt with the COVID-19 outbreak, inflation, and other economic difficulties. Since taking office in 2015, Trudeau has come under growing criticism, with many doubting his ability to lead and guide the nation.
Muskโs remark comes at a time when Canada is preparing for a federal election and surveys indicate that support for Trudeauโs Liberal Party is dropping. Muskโs remarks are likely to intensify preexisting opinions and spark more discussion among Canadian voters. It is unclear if his forecast will come to pass, but it does demonstrate how closely Trudeauโs leadership is being watched as the election draws near.
